If the smell of a quarter-pounder with cheese wasn’t enough to get you through the doors of your nearest McDonald’s, O2 has signed a five-year deal to provide the restaurant chain's free Wi-Fi across 1,200 of its fast-food outlets. What’s more, non-O2 customers will be able to get online too, without charge.

It essentially replaces the existing deal McDonald's had with The Cloud, so customers will have to switch their service over on their devices if they're not already signed up to O2 Wi-Fi.

Thankfully, it's a one-time sign-up process, and burger fans will be able to use the service in any McDonald'sor O2 Wi-Fi hotspot.

Pocket-lint spoke to a McDonald's spokesperson who said the rollout would begin in April, with 1,200 of its restaurants offering a free O2 Wi-Fi hotspot by the time the Olympics start this July.

Even before this partnership comes into play, McDonald's says, 750,000 of its customers use its Wi-Fi connection every month. With non-O2 customers soon to be joining the masses, that number should easily be hitting the millions before too long.

The Samsung Galaxy S10+ is now available on EE who have been awarded the UK’s best network for the fifth year running. RootMetrics tested the four UK networks and EE was faster and more reliable than all of them, with better data performance. Their network has come a long way since they launched in 2012. Back then they had 11 UK cities covered by 4G. Today they cover most of the UK’s land mass, thanks to 19,000 state-of-the-art 4G sites. They’ve got faster, too – from 50Mbps to a maximum speed of 400Mbps. And they’re soon to experience even greater possibilities with the launch of 5G.
